The Galeries Lafayette store in the Westfield Rosny 2 shopping center, located in Rosny-sous-Bois inthe Seine-Saint-Den , will soon close its doors for good. This decision follows the financial difficulties encountered by Hermione Retail, owner of several affiliated stores of the brand.
On February 21, 2024, the Bordeaux Commercial Court examined a safeguard plan for the 26 Galeries Lafayette stores owned by Michel Ohayon via his companies Hermione Retail, Hermione TPR and Hermione Outlet. These entities had been placed under safeguard proceedings in February 2023 to avoid immediate liquidation.
According to Franceinfo, after lengthy discussions, the Galeries Lafayette Group, the main creditor, agreed in February 2024 to waive 70% of its claims and to spread payment of the remaining 30% over ten years. But this reprieve was not enough to halt the collapse of the stores' business model, whose growth rate, initially forecast at 11% in 2024, had to be revised to 4%, a figure still considered too optimistic by employee representatives.
